NASA just expanded its coverage of today’s launch, and the live broadcast of the agency’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission is airing live on NASA+. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms, including social media.

Today’s liftoff is targeted for 11:43 a.m. EDT from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Crew-11 is the 11th crew rotation flight of the Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket, carrying Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Kimiya Yui, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov to the International Space Station. Overall, the Crew-11 mission is the 16th crewed Dragon flight to the space station, which includes Demo-2 in 2020 and 11 operational crew rotations for NASA, as well as four private astronaut missions.

Once the crew arrives aboard the space station, they will undertake a brief handover period of a few days with NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission. Following handover, NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov will depart for a splashdown off the coast of California, completing their expedition aboard the microgravity laboratory.
